Education and Evolution: School Instruction and the Human Future

By Charles R. Reid

In Education and Evolution, Charles R. Reid delves exhaustively into the future problems of K-12 education in the United States. Reid explains how to best achieve effective individual learning, and takes into account both the age-old philosophical issues and the technological possibilities that the future clearly holds for the educational enterprise. Reid cites such contemporary problems as the failure of instructors to achieve a true intellectual interchange with the pupil and the lack of evidence that test scores reflect acquired knowledge. He then weaves together a powerful philosophical argument in favor of various experimental devices that the U.S. educational system may use to alleviate these detriments to true learning. A stimulating read for both the professional educator and the lay person, Education and Evolution is an insightful glimpse at 21st Century learning possibilities.
